Austin Biker Rally weekend 2010

[priller]

It's that time of year again! The "ROT Rally" (for Republic of Texas rally) was back in town last weekend. Noise-wise, it is easily my least favorite weekend for living downtown. So loud! It gets annoying real fast. But picture-wise, it's usually pretty interesting. Hope you enjoy!


I tried to capture just how many bikes and people are there. Can't really do it, but this comes close. Bikes lined up as far as you can see.




Something tells me the couple on the right is not there for the rally.




They just keep coming.




Bikes. I mostly just took closeups of bikes this time around.
























Chicks, man.














Tattoo parlors on 6th street were doing brisk business. Tattoo artist working on the street in front of his store:




A few more.







In case you're wondering, yes, that's a dog with a cat on his back, with a mouse on the cat's back.

1. enjoyed those pictures . . .

I live in Daytona so see a gathering like that twice a year. Rather see those bikers than the Spring Breakers.

The best ones of the whole bunch! :hi:

3. Spectacular!

Almost worth the noise. And I HATE noise.

Was the dog on a bike? The cat looks just a touch frazzled.
